those closed doors t the operation of small town theatres in recent years had not been a tale of soaring galnt in attendance this week s announce ment that the local roxy will be closed for ihe summer is a climaxing event were told the supervisor purposely put good pictures into the local show for the month of may to determine the effect on crowds while student attendance was not bad the adult attendance was pitiful there isn t any doubt tha the theatre jwih be missed during its summer months iclosing by a good number of people in ithese days of increasing awareness of costs jnot many firms can afford to subsidize one jarea where its operation is not profit produc ing acton has had a theatre for a good many years just recently georgetown quite sue tessfully began showing theatre films in the jrose room connected with the arena because jthe roxy theatre there had been destroyed by fire prior to this residents according to issues of the georgetown paper had been disturbed by the lack of a theatre that has fcaused young people to be hitch hiking to other centres for the attractions perhaps ihe old saw about locking the door after the horse is stolen has some ap plication to the local theatre no doubt there will be complaints from businessmen end parents alike but it will take support to open those closed theatre doors we imagine the economics of theatre operation are completely foreign to us but we can certainly appreciate the need to make a profit surely there is room in this field for cooperation between theatre and merchants not in sub sidization but through a general cooperative downtown promotion program a survey in streetsville recently revealed that some 95 per cent of that cdrfununity s residents were shopping elsewhere s no secret that a tremendous amount of acton s residents shop outof town and losing facilities here will not alter that trend there is definitely room for cooperation closing acton roxy for the summer may give us all a better appreciation of it and a strong desire for its continuance even on a more limited program if that is economically sound no place for inexperience j farmers who allow persons under 16 years of age to drive tractors or motor vehi teles along the highways this summer are ask ing for trouble not only are they breaking a law which provides for a five to 10 dollar fine they are h viting an accident resulting jn personal injury or property damage j while figures have not yet been realized jthe 1959 farm accident survey showed that imany farm accidents are caused through jyouthful carelessness or inexperience add rto this the complex problems of increased heavier horsepower and you have a strong case against letting these youngsters take to highway traffic faster vehicle speeds and jthe highways with cars trucks or tractors j while the highway traffic acts section 52 states that no person under the age of 16 years may operate a motor vehicle or farm tractor on a highway the onus is on the farmer and the act provides the fine for him naturally this fine is not as serious as an accident which could be caused from youthful carelessness or inexperience at the wheel when on our main roads states gor don greer president of the ontario feder ation of agriculture for years we farmers have been accustomed to having our children learn to drive and operate our farm equip menraf an early age so we tend to forget what the consequences could be the only exception to the rule is when the motor vehicle or farm tractor is driven directly across the highway i help me prevent accidentsobey your traffic
